The Alamo Story: From Early History To Current Conflicts

First published back in 2000, J.R Edmondson's The Alamo Story: From Early History to Current Conflicts thoroughly examines the famous Shrine of Texas Liberty from its origin as a Spanish New World mission to its modern status. It has been lauded as the best overall book on the subject, and former Alamo historian/curator Dr. Bruce Winders declared that the book was one that everyone should have in their library. Edmondson's original book has been celebrated for over twenty years for its comprehensive approach to Alamo scholarship and for presenting the famous battle in the context of American history. This second edition of The Alamo Story includes new information about the battle and those involved, including expanded stories on the roles of minorities, and new illustrations of the Alamo from the diorama by Mark Lemon. It also features a new chapter on Benjamin Rush Milam's assault on San Antonio with three hundred Texians--known as Milam's 300--and an epilogue on the present-day battle over the physical Alamo compound, as historic preservationists battle political and popular opinions in San Antonio.
